[SOLVED] How to select suitable size Air Cooler for Gigabyte C200G and MSI B450 Tomahawk MB.

[UsamaJutt031379]

I don't know how to calculate the size. I want to know that if Antec A400 Air Cooler will fit in my Gigabyte C200G case with MSI B450 Tomahawk Motherboard with XPG Gammix D30 16GB Ram.

OR

If anybody can tell me how to calculate.

No need to calculate anything, Gigabyte has already done the work - https://www.gigabyte.com/Chassis/GB-C200G/sp#sp

The max height the case can support is 165mm.

The Antec A400 is 155mm so your case will support this cooler.

As for RAM clearance, the cooler is fairly skinny compared to others on the market and shouldn't interfere with your RAM.

Thank you.

So CPU Height is the height for the cooler. I thought that it wasn't mentioned.

What is your processor?
Noctua maintains a large database for motherboard and cpu compatibility for their coolers.
There is also a cpu suitability table:

Here are the results for a R5-3600 as an example.
The A400 is a decent cooler with a 120mm fan.
A slightly stronger cooler might be the noctua NH-U12s redux

My processor is Ryzen 2600.
